right ANGLES

This southern cross is found in many of the
designs, and it ranks with the palmetto tree
and the lone star as a prominent figure
Some OF the ladies' designs are very curious,
and some are made of different colors OF silk
and satin neatly stitched together and with
little stars sewed upon them. In some
cases the designers had not the paints to work
with, and they have made their designs OF
different pieces of colored paper cut into
shape and pasted together. Here the red,
white and blue predominates, and the stripes
and stars in nearly every case permit the adj
dition OF new emblems for the new states as
they came in. One of the ladies' flags is
eighteen inches long, and it consists Of three
series of two stripes of red, white and red
aboye and below a broad stripe of blue, upon
which are sewed seven white stars. These
seven stars represented the seven states which
had already seeded.
So
Some of the designs are very grotesque, and
coming as they do from all classes OF people,
il Is not strange that in some the suollme
should tramp very closely upon the heels OF
the ridiculous. 1 give you here picture IN
black and white of design Al, whlch
WAS sent to jefferson Davis from CotfeeVlne'
Ala. but 1 cannot paint the wrath VIII
which the coloEE seem TO swear at each other'
The design is large enough to cover good
sized library table 1t is made OF heavy
drawing paper and is done in crayon. One
part of the ground is blue and the other part
a dirty yellow. On the broad blue part,
which is supposed to be attached to the pole,
big black eye is painted, and around this,
in the shape of crescent, which faces the
front OF the flag, are seven white stars. From
the eye eight white stripes go outward, rum
ming from the blue into the yellow and there
losing themselves. The letter which was
sent with this design is well written. 1t is
dated Feb %, 1851, and it is addressed to
seen. Jefferson Davis. The first paragraph

on flags when the provisional congress
first met at Montgomery, and they
came from every state of the south
Only few Of them are preserved here, and
Col Boteler, who was a member of the Con-
federate flag committee, tells me that the
number Of designs received ran high into the
thousands, and that they filled box as big as
piano top. These were captured at Rich
mond with the other Confederate archives
and specimens Of them have been selected and
pasted in this old scrap book. The book was

long, twelve inches wide and as thick as a
mans fist. Its paper is faded and its covers
are worn; the corners are dog cared and it
bears the evidences of its twenty-five wears of

One hundred and twenty designs for a
Confederate flag are pasted within it, and
these are Of all sizes, shapes and colors. Some
are no larger than visiting card, others are

The full size Of the ordinary regimental flag
These last are made of cloth, and the coloring
upon them is Of the brightest paint. The de-
sign which here give you with arattlesnake
upon it is as large as the sheet of baby's
crib, and it looks as though it might have
been made Of some such material. Its thir-
teen stripes are Of red and white, and
upon them are seven red stars and
crimson crescent moon. This rattle
snake has q skin made up of black
and yellow diamond spots, and there was
a motto: "DoI't tread on met is certain
DEATH" This design was sent to the Hon.
Robert Toombs, and in the letter accompany
ing 1t the writer says: "The white stripes
represent the seven states of the south and
the red ones show that if they are oppressed
they will fight for blood. The rattlesnake
represents the Confederacy. If you come
near him he will sing out with his rattle. If
you do not leave, and dare to tread upon him,

inspection Of PEOPLES Noses.

French paper is soon to appear as the
organ Of the science of 'nazography," a sys-
tenn which, the author says, permits Of divin-
ing the character, habits and inclination Of
people by simple inspection Of their noses.
He says: long nose is the sign of merit,
power and genius; straight nose denotes q
just, serious, fine, judicious and energetic
mind; the Roman nose a propensity for ad-
venture; widenose, with open nostrils, is q
mark of senSuality; cleft nose shows be-
nevolence; the curved, fieshy nose sign Of
domination and cruelty; the curved thin nose,
on the contrary, is q mark of brilliant
mind, but vain, and disposed to be ironi al;
the turned up nose denotes a weak mind,
sometime coarse, and generally playful,
pleasant or frolicsome; pale nose indicates
egotism, envy, heartlessness; and the quick,
passionate. sanguine person has a strongly
colored nose of a uniform shsde-Boston

female students. Young women in college
are In far better health than young women in
society, are healthier as seniors than they were
as freshmen, and average fewer cases of i'll
ness than are shown In mems colleges, while
statistics show that they enjoy sum total of
twenty per cent better health than the aver

The Militia,

Messrs. Park and Mullaney have circu.

tween the ages Of IS and IS years, for the
purpose Of ascertaining how many were
willing to join militia company. They
have obtained, thus far, 30 names. a
meeting is to be held in the City Hail, at Z
r. M. Sunday, for the purpose Of hearing
the law on the subject read, and then dc.
Gliding what action shall be taken in the
matter. The wa. department will issue
arms, equipage, etc, on May slst. to terri
torial militia, and it is important that as
many companies as possible be formed be-
fore that date, so that the annual issue
may b: ample; therefore, an early organi.
zation is cNpedient.
